SYRIZA Once Again Defends Illegal Immigrants - Slams Police Force (VIDEO)

The main opposition SYRIZA party on Sunday called for the immediate launch of an inquiry into allegations of police brutality at Greece's main migrant holding centre in Amygdaleza, northeast of Athens, where some 1,200 mainly Afghan and Pakistani migrants are kept under police guard, following reports of riots and the intervention of special police forces to quell the chaos.
     "Greek and foreign organisations for human rights but also, more recently, the mayor of Acharnes have reported that conditions of incarceration at the Amygdaleza concentration camp are inhuman and humiliating, a fact made worse by the high temperatures," the party noted, adding that the conditions and the extension of the period of detention to 18 months pushed inmates to despair and prompted the riot.
     "This despair, as well as the riot, are the fruits of the inhuman policy of [Public Order and Citizen Protection Minister Nikos Dendias], who insists on the racist Xenios Dias and the implementation of detention even when their ineffectiveness is obvious even by the ministry's standards," the announcement added.
Obviously SYRIZA is in panic, because the only possible voting pool it has stems from these minorities. The left wing party however forgets that these detainees illegally entered Greece.

According to reports, during the riot detainees set fire to mattresses and their living quarters, and threw stones and other objects at riot police dispatched to subdue them.

Question: What was the police to do Mr. Tsipras, beg for more?

Police officials say that the unrest (suspiciously) broke out when the detainees were told that their maximum stay in the camp would be extended to 18 months from 12 months.

It is still not confirmed how many migrants were hurt in the incident.

On Sunday a police hunt for migrant escapees was under way in Athens after the riot left 10 officers injured, authorities said, but of course SYRIZA declined to speak about that and quite conveniently did not utter a word about the fires that they migrants set in the area destroying Greek public property.

Instead SYRIZA called for the immediate closure of all the detention camps and (ridiculously) noted that they should be replaced with open reception and hospitality centres.

(Eleos!)
